Re: please recomend !!!! or come and have a pop!
"permission is hard to come by i know but keep trying,
There is no maximum cal for deer stalking only minimum."
Dont I know, only asked my F.O. and he smirked then laughed !
"You have to present your case for each cal , know your stuff dont bluff
You could say you wanted a338 for deer on the hill , police says oh thats to big , you say forestry commissiom scotland bought 338 for all hill mamagers , job done"
South Essex aint Scotland though !
"Lots of uk deer stalkers have 375 or 416 , just dont say its stuck on top of 50 case.
Get out your cartriges of the world book and cross ref european /british dia bullets with current us and wild cats"
My local Amoury, wouldnt even know what a 375 looks like ! come on, you gotta remember that most 'southern' amouries only stock for Shotguns - 22lr maybe .223 no more, where abouts are you Dave ?
"For the 50 you will need a serious bit of land and you will have to have a good case togther when appllying, if you are a novice shooter or on your first fac or not going though loads of ammo on your ticket forget it
Where in the uk are you ?"
South Essex originally but based in France at mo, but would like to be fully versed to my rights when - if I do return. Just in middle of purchase of a Roedale 6.5 x 47L and will want to bring it home as and when, have plans for a 338 sometime soon in the future, again, wanna bring it home with me and not fall foul of restrictive UK laws.
"Ill try to answer specific qs if you have any" will PM you if ok ?
"Looking at the US i dont think it will be long before they get strangled in red paper "
reading between the lines, ie supply of ammo - AR restrictions, looks like its already begun......watch out gents, may happen sooner than you think or am I mis-judging what Im reading on several forums ?
Out.
